Hahahahahahaha love your work turk!! The DC will be devastated now, you have taken away the only thing that brings meaning to his little existence. Poor little bugger will need to be placed on suicide watch. Please, I beg of you DC, do it.......I mean don't do it.

On the game, the only way we lose this against the raiders is if we beat ourselves by being complacent. We have the opportunity to put this game to bed in the first 25 minutes if we are switched on from the get go.

Want to see the same intent as last week. Result will look after itself

We were trampled into the turf and soundly beaten by the Raiders at Allianz last season?

No we just managed to defeat them, with Fergo, Milford and Papalii nearly getting the raiders home. For memory Fergo scored 3 really good tries.

It's another Greeds special. Ahh ok 20 is a oui bit conservative, I don't quite have your confidence mate, I will settle with a 30 point drubbing.

I haven't always been the optimist, I just think this is a shit hot footy side that hasn't even played to 50% of their potential and I'm waiting for the kents to explode!

Should be a pretty big win today by the lads.

Great to see the Jets on the same card and I hope people get there early enough to cheer them as well today. Good opportunity for the players to show their form too.

Be interesting to see if the hardcore Jets crowd who go to Henson go along today...I suspect they will.

Just need these coastal showers to stay away today.

glad we have this site to visit and get our league fix. Nothing on smh or tellucrap re today's match!

BTW, off topic but not worthy of a new thread: am I the only person appalled by the decision to lower the charge against Josh Reynolds in SOO1? If that was JWH, he'd be swinging from the crossbar at Wally Lewis Stadium. Double standards is crippling this game! QED

Jake Friend and 3 or 4 other players will be wearing odd coloured boots this afternoon.



Also, former U20s Rooster John Asiata, will make his debut for the Cowboys after our game.

really impressed by Uele in the NYC today, looking extremely fit/powerful compared to last season

Nene Macdonald is a class above NYC when he gets involved, needs to get more touches.

[elo]

Nene is way way way too good for this level.
